| Primary Identifier | MGI:98254 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
| Chromosome | 4 | NCBI Gene Number | 20280 |
| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable several functions, including C-acyltransferase activity; anion binding activity; and lipid transfer activity. Involved in regulation of phospholipid biosynthetic process. Located in endoplasmic reticulum; mitochondrion; and peroxisome. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; hair follicle; intestine; liver; and retina layer. Orthologous to human SCP2 (sterol carrier protein 2). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for disruptions of this gene exhibit altered lipid levels and both males and females are sensitive to phytol-rich diets. [provided by MGI curators] |
